A visit to the former Australian military base at Nui Dat, the Long Tan Cross and Long Phuoc Tunnels, can be covered in a day from Saigon - this is one for those with a specialist interest in Australia's role in the Vietnam War.

Really interesting day out a little more off the beaten track. Our guide was a South Vietnamese Army veteran from the 1960s and he was very engaging and knowledgeable. Thank you Tuan.

We went to Long Tan, Nui Dat and asked our guide to take us to The Battle of Coral/Balmoral. The guide helped us find the memorial for Coral/Balmoral which was where our Australian friend was killed in May 1968. It was fantastic that we could go to the place where this battle happened. No other tour does this. Thank you Tuan our guide for finding it and taking us there. We thoroughly recommend this if you want to visit the Battle of Coral/Balmoral.

This was a fantastic tour with great attention to detail. Tuan shared his incredible personal connection to the War, including with photos, and took us to some amazing sites. The van and drive was very comfortable. This tour was the highlight of my journey to Vietnam.

Our tour guide Alex was the best. Full of information and old photos. He even organised flowers, our national anthem and the Last Post to be played at Long Tan. I can’t recommend Alex highly enough.

The first hand information from the tour guide that served in the war. It was somber to lay flowers at the shrine and reflect on what happened here for both sides of the war.

Tuan was a wonderful tour guide, I was traveling with my teenage son who selected this tour and it was just a great experience.
Tuan also encouraged us to join him the next day with his tour to the Chu Chi Tunnels. These 2 days were my sons favourite experience in Vietnam. Would definitely recommend both these tours with Tuan.

Booked a private Long Tan Tour. We attended the Long Tan Cross which was peaceful and glad we had the opportunity to pay our respects. We also visited the Long Phuoc Tunnel which was really interesting and Nui Dat. The vehicle was clean and tidy. Our guide Tuan was a South Vietnamese Army Officer during the war. He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable in regards to all aspects of the war, in particular the Australian and New Zealand Army units. I also enjoyed his personal memories of the war and could really listen to him talk all day about his first hand experiences. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Tuan, he was awesome.

We were warmly greeted by our tour guide and driver as they picked us up from our hotel. The car was clean and comfortable.
Our tour guide was a jolly 75yo former officer from the South Vietnamese Army. He gave us insights to the Australian and New Zealand deployment to Nui Dat and history of the era.
The Long Tan memorial is a peaceful place and we paid our respects to the fallen there a minute’s silence, burning incense and leaving flowers.
There is not much left of the Nui Dat base and the area is now a quarry. Nui Dat hill is there so some of physical features remain. The Nui Dat airfield’s runway is now a local road and helicopter landing field a soccer field now.
We visited a few other places along the way but the Long Tan memorial and Nui Dat were definitely the highlights.
We were returned our hotel happy that we had visited this significant part of our troops’ history.

Tuan was a fantastic guide with a really insightful knowledge of the history of the area, and knowledge of the battle. Really enjoyed the tour. Would highly recommend especially for anyone with an interest in Australian military history. Not much of Nui Dat left as it is being used as a quarry, but still worth a visit.
